TACOMA, Nov. 17.—Citizens of Vancouver devoted last night to the celebration of an event considered to be the most important in the commerclal, history of the'city—the com- pletion” of the channel, ‘which allows a depth of twenty-two feet of water in the Columbla River ot the lowest tide. For a number of years business and manufacturing Interests of Vancouver have been hampered by a-bar form- ing in the river at or near the mouth of the Willamette. After many years' effort the Gov- ernment was induced to provide means for the removal of the obstruction, and for the last three months a dredger has been at work. The work was completed Monday, is now at the head of deep-water navigation on the Columbia, giving her sawmills an oppor- tunity to ship their products to San Francisco and other California ports, More sawmils will be erected there. | WILL LOCATE EXPERIMENTAL VINEYARD IN PLACER COUNTY Experts Go to Aubura to Choose Site for Same to Be Runm by .

However, when Hughes read his cablegrams to the convention the dele- gateg refused to recognize them and de- clared the vote should be cast according to the Instructions given the delegates before leaving home, which was to have been determined at a caucus here. This caucus was held yesterday and Manley was given the votes to cast. IN CAUCUS ALL NIGHT. ‘With the exception of two hours just before daylight the delegates spent the entire night caucusing. It was agreed that all proxies should be voted by none other than those interested personally in the development of Alaska, thus shutting out any voice in the convention by those who have investments there, no matter how large, but do not spend at least the whole of the open season in the dis- trict. To-night in caucus i will be de- termined whether or not the fight be- tween Ryan and Johanson will be carried on or the matter dropped and the con- vention resolve to send three delegates to ‘Washington.. Hughes, in an effort to placate the or- ganization on the floor of the covention, this afternoon made an open statement that Johanson was not a Wickersham candidate. He also denied the story be- ing circulated that Johanson, if sent to ‘Washington, would be the personal rep- resentative there of Judge Wickersham. ‘When the convention was called to or- der by temporary chairman Sam Archer the committee on credentials made {ts re- port seating all the delegates and ac- knowledging all the proxies, under the hills near that city.

In two precincts, through the utter neglect of the election officers, several hundred votes were not counted. In another precinct the votes for' the Unfon Labor candidates were not given to ‘them. At the meeting last night of the Election Commissioners several' of the offenders were before the board to ex- plain. The matter will be taken up again at the next meeting, and every officer connected with the precincts will be cited to_appear. In the Seventh Precinct of the Thirty- first District. a blank poll tally was sent in to the Registrar's office. As this is the only means by which the results of the vote.cast in the precinct is known, the several hundred votes cast went un- counted. ‘It is the duty of the election officers at the closing of the polls to take the result of the vote from the machine and record it gn the blank poll tally and turn it over to the Registrar, Henry War- ren and James Hallett were before the board last night, but could only plead neglect as an explanation of their fallure to do their duty. The same trouble occurred in-the Sec- ond Preciict of the Thirty-second Dis- trict. James Miller and J. Nusbaum, who were inspectors in this precinct, also pleaded neglect. In the Sixth Precinet of the Thirty-sixth District the votes of the fusion nominees were counted, but a blank space- was left on the poll tally for the Union Labor candidates. R. J. Hahn and D. J. German testified before the board that an election officer named Jay Beach was guilty of neglect, as he had the handling of the poll tally. Thomas J. Kelly of 1619 California street complained to the board that he had been unjustly prevented from serving as an election officer through an error of the Assessor. Kelly was appointed as an election officer, but the Assessor reported him not on the assessment roll.. When he reported for work at the booth on election morning he was net permitted to serve. He brought with him last night a letter from the Tax Collector showing he was paying taxes. Commissioner Voorsanger thought Kelly was entitled to an election officer’s salary. The mat- ter will come up at the next meeting of the board. ————— SOLANO COUNTY FRUITMEN ARE BANKING THEIR RETURNS Just Closed Adds Shekels to the Coffers of the Farmers.
